If I was in the sweep, my money would have been on "unearthed recording", as there is zero chance the buffoon hasn't violated every taboo already, it's just a matter of waiting for the tapes to surface.

Also: when - not if - he drops the N-bomb, the GOP will suddenly develop amnesia about that time they threw a shit fit when Obama said it.

Trump, and his supporters, are a disgrace to humanity, and no amount of supposed telling-it-like-it-is changes that.

Have you spoken to all of the millions of Trump supporters? do you know them personally? I'm no Trump supporter, but I wouldn't go as far as describing them collectively as a disgrace to humanity. Try not being so dogmatic, speak to people, try to understand other peoples views, and what has led them to adhere to those views. Generalising... I thought we were passed that?

I'm not generalising, I'm being very specific: deliberately and knowingly supporting a head of state who conducts himself in the manner that Trump does means that person brings (additional) shame on our species. It is disgraceful to listen to the shit that flows out of that dangerous baboon and say "yay Trump, telling the hard truths, have my vote": that goes for anyone that is even slightly aware of themselves and the world around them.

I fully appreciate the levels of ignorance, hardship and social conditioning that may bring an individual to that point, but it in no way diminishes the disgrace. People do stupid things for all sorts of understandable reasons: it doesn't mean the aren't stupid.
